    Zaphina replied to Nursing65287's topic in First Year After Licensure

  4. Identification Requests

    Zaphina replied to Zaphina's topic in Travel

    Thanks for the answers, but rather difficult and safe than not. That would be the simple thing to do. However if I am signed into 17 agencies I don't need my face in 16 places I am not employed with....

  5. Identification Requests

    Zaphina replied to Zaphina's topic in Travel

    So I talked to the recruiter again and I was told that, they want that information so they can verify it with the nursing licensing board. Which still doesn't make sense because I can give you my...

  13. Can a RN legally supervise BSN's and MSN's?

    Zaphina replied to cosmicjustice's topic in General Nursing

    I do have a small issue with that, being that if the "DRN", is power-hungry because of the D in front of the RN, then that person does not make a good Director or manager. Just because a person has an...
